@Logic_Engine @homegymcoop Neat in theory, but in practice, you spend an arm and a leg in order to wield some unwieldy block, which is much more fragile than the few sets of dumbbells actually needed.

@homegymcoop Invest in these and a bench and you’re good. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made

Way too many people overlook the 300lb weight set when starting a home gym.
For $350, you get 300lbs in plates AND a 45lb Olympic Barbell.
At this price, everyone should have a home gym.

@CraigMcintier @TuckerGoodrich When limited to 25g per day of added sugars HFCS doesn't seem to be any health hazard either. Further, those are two 50yr old (LOL!!) recovered studies with crude methods like "filling meat" with oil. Hazard only appears in 65+ too. In the sea of evidence it is but a drop.
English
@Rheopecty @TuckerGoodrich Metabolism ≠ health. We can metabolize HFCS, too. The burden of proof is on the industrial novelty, not the evolutionary diet, especially since RCTs (Minnesota & Sydney) showed mortality rose when replacing sat fat with these oils. High-linoleic PUFAs are a failed experiment.
English
This idiot doesn't understand that we have actual RCTs showing they do harm.
Shills gotta shill.

Seed oils: Are they even correlated with bad health? I assembled ALL of the available NHANES data and linked as much as possible of it to the National Death Index and found that... It's not. Seed oils aren't even correlated with problems.

English
@CraigMcintier @TuckerGoodrich It's not obvious to me why oil from a seed should not be "normalized". That oil is triglycerides, which we obviously can metabolize. Furthermore, the fact that it enables the growth of a plant demonstrates it is likely suited for life. The burden of proof is on you IMO.
English
@TuckerGoodrich What’s interesting is how these foods become normalized and pushed as healthy once they’re scalable, shelf-stable, and easy to produce, not necessarily because they’re biologically optimal, but the case of these oils, harmful.

@GuruAnaerobic Your intuition is off then. Calves are notoriously tough to grow. Having large ones shows a great deal of physical activity. They also serve a second function in the body, which is to aid in pumping blood. Atrophied calves almost always precede circulatory doom.
English
My intuition, observation, and experience tells me the opposite - people with big calves die earlier.

A simple body measurement may predict how long you live. Calf circumference. Muscle is longevity. h/t @hyderabaddoctor

@fortmadeofbrass @yano_gamedev Only slightly agree. Firstly, you ought to consider that along with baby pokemon came the entire breeding system, which expanded customization immensely. Lastly, having a few baby pokemon, added another collect 'em all method to break up the monotony of simply throwing balls.

@yano_gamedev Trash dex trash level curve runs like shit no abilities AND it added the tragedy that is baby pokemon leave this game in the 90s

@sneed683317 @SCHIZO_FREQ So there is an angle that few of you consider, which is the role that sunlight plays in Emmetropization. Sunlight exposure is a strong predictor of whether you have a vision irregularity such as myopia. We do seem to require sunlight for various health reasons besides just that.
English
@SCHIZO_FREQ sunlight is not good for your health. That's boomer nonsense just like fruits and vegetables.
Sunlight allows the body to produce its own Vitamin D. So as long as you get enough vitamin D from your diet there is no benefit to sun exposure.
It just damages your DNA.
English
Two things appear to be true:
1) Sunlight is good for your health
but also
2) Sun does actually age your skin
The optimal solution seems clear: only tan your back
You get all the health benefits with almost none of the aesthetic downsides
If someone starts to get grossed out by your aged back-skin, just turn around and dazzle them with your well-preserved front side

@OGNMeanGerman @lesbianrivals The type itself is the OP part. That's why their base stats are BELOW average. And Blissey wiped the floor during its day anyway.
Normal
HP: 76.5 rank #3
Attack: 72.1 rank #13
Defence: 58.4 rank #18
Sp. Attack: 56.1 rank #17
Sp. Defence: 62.6 rank #18
Speed: 71.3 rank #8
English
@Rheopecty @lesbianrivals This is false. Removing Normal type would unleash horrors onto the world. They made many Normal types really strong with the type acting as balance. Fairy type Blissey would wipe the floor.

if we have to get rid of 1 pokemon type which is it and why

@lit_pinata @lesbianrivals Definitely a curveball answer, ghost is a wildly popular type due to the creative zones and monster designs. Besides that, it fills a specific niche that prevents normal type from being the most dominant type in the game.
English
@lesbianrivals I'm going to go with a curveball pick and say that Ghost should be dissolved into a mix of Psychic, Dark, and Fairy types primarily.
For instance, Gengar becomes Dark/Poison, Trevenant becomes Grass/Fairy, Drifblim becomes Dark/Flying, Mismagius becomes Psychic.
English
@softpoetrysound @MarthiaTheSkull Yeah what does it tell you? You know what your stupid condescending vagueposting combined w/ your view that making anyone uncomfortable ever is to be avoided tells me? That you are an NPC that probably studied social sciences or something useless like English. Enjoy your day.

fun idea: let's play along!
under this tweet, i will share three main claims from the video, and you can vote accordingly. to keep things simple for the poll, just decide if you mostly agree / disagree / are in the middle (twitter polls do not leave room for nuance unfortunately)

@Mandevil74 @NGreentail Idk, I don't give them any slack. It's the 4th largest video game franchise in world history with 500 million sales in 30 years. A game with 3D sprites that looked beautiful was Battle Revolution from 20 years ago. But I just have zero motivation to buy the new games.
English
@Rheopecty @NGreentail 2/2 didn’t compare to what they use today and they have developers who had to relearn game design for new systems and they had some of the same problems when they transitioned to 3D. I think it’s just a learning experience and some of the 3D models have been improved since XY
English
A little help from Pokemon fans; I'm only a casual fan of the series, but after loving Pokopia and finishing Legends Z-A I want to dive deep into the series. Is this the best order and choice of games to get the best mainline Pokemon game experience?
English
@CornWallaceUSA @DefiantLs My dilemma w/ the question is that it begs the question : ordered by what criteria? Do I have to push a button and kill one? Is it which one I spend the most $$ on? Do I have to abandon the other two? In the real world we examine needs and hopefully don't let any of them down.
English
They actually all answered it correctly. You're just too selfish and self-centered to ever put anyone before yourself. Good men will always put their children before anyone on this planet. And if they had a good mother, of course that's the person who's going to be next. If you can't recognize why that is, you've got a problem.
English
People get asked, "Who comes first...your mom, your daughter, or your wife?"
English
@Mandevil74 @NGreentail Yup the originals have great sprites and animations. Then they attempted to transition into 3D and it was obviously too large of a job, producing games I won't play. The pokemon look like soulless marionettes with bland colors and the games run like crap.
English
@NGreentail I get tackling the remakes instead of the originals but I just feel like you be missing out on the charm the 8bit graphics and music especially Gen 2. Pokemon Crystal just has my favorite feel of all the games

@NGreentail If you're intending to play 15 games you are far past casual fan. I still prefer the original GSC and RSE because they don't use the 3D sprites which are bland & soulless crap now that there are 1,000+ pokemon, but that may reveal to you where I dropped the series.
